great location, great atmosphere

I stayed here twice and I love this place for its originality and atmosphere. Spacious rooms, unique style, location in the centre of old town, very friendly staff and good restaurant. It is not a luxury, but originality and ambience. And quite reasonable price on top of it. Location is the reason for troubles with parking, but parking place in near brewery is available and can be organized by the hotel.

We stayed one night, I was told about this hotel by a friend who recommended it, it's a beautiful property with quirky corners. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was lacking space and where to put towels. Also the shower gel came in a sachet so I think they should really invest into toiletries. It was a bit noisy towards the morning but its not Cesky Krumlov fault that they need to host drunk British tourists. The big minus was the breakfast, when we came after German pensioners it was like after grasshopper invasion (of biblical proportion) with nothing left. No more scrambled eggs, no pastries, no coffee. Nothing was replenished. And all tables were still left with dirty mugs and cutlery. If the breakfast was better I'd give it 4 stars. Otherwise staff was helpful, would come again.

We happened upon this restaurant (which apparently is also a pension) when we were in Cesky Krumlov last week and were very happy with our meal and the excellent staff here. We arrived a little late in the evening, and by 9:30 none of the restaurants still had an open kitchen. By chance I went into this restaurant to ask if they were still serving. The very friendly young man initially said their kitchen was closed, but he must have seen the desperation on my face because he then asked how many people. Since it was only 2 of us, they very graciously kept the kitchen open and the chef (who has a 40 km drive to get back home) prepared our meal. We were so grateful as everywhere else we had asked they were slightly unwelcoming.

I ordered a very juicy chicken with a wild cherry sauce and my boyfriend had a very nice grilled pork with mushroom sauce and potatoes. We were even entertained with live piano music for the first part of our dinner.

Overall, the service was excellent, our meals were very tasty and thoroughly enjoyed and the prices were very reasonable, particularly for the alcohols.

I would highly recommend this restaurant.

We didn't expect the hotel to be at such a good location when we made the reservation. It was the first time we visited this region and wow! All the attractions were within few minutes walk. We booked the loft for 5 of us. It was really spacious. It even had a balcony with wooded table and chairs, from where we could see part of the castle and rooftop view. The price was also very good, came with breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. We will recommend our friends to stay here if they plan to visit CK!

First, the positives: excellent location in the heart of the town, VERY friendly staff (there was a helpful young man whose English was excellent), and one of the best prices in town (I know because we visited several others before settling on this one). Also, it's handy that there is a restaurant on site and free Wifi in the common area (didn't work in my room).

There is lots of action around this hotel - whether it is good or bad is dependent upon how much you enjoy sleeping between the hours of midnight and 6 am! There seem to be a lot of rooms, so perhaps this wouldn't be everyone's experience, and perhaps it's not the same every night (I was there on a weekday during the summer). It was stifling hot in our room (no air con) so we had to keep the windows open during the night - the problem was it looked onto an outdoor cafe or bar - I could smell the cigarette smoke coming in the window and the crowd was very loud all night. They were playing guitar and singing and hollering all night. But, I did enjoy a unique Czech rendition of "No Woman No Cry".

The beds were super hard - like sleeping on a wooden plank. The pillows were dreadfully thin - even folded in half it was not sufficient. I just took some clothes from my luggage and slept on them - mission accomplished!

The flat-screen TV was large and modern - perfect for watching BBC news before bed.

This is, overall, a good place for the money. There are charming details at this property - the little piece of chocolate, the shoe horn, the nice wardrobe and shoe stand. The bathroom was perfectly fine. If I had had a better sleep (unfortunately, one of the worst in a long time due to the beds, pillows, and extremely loud ambient noise described above), this would be a 4-star property.

I don't mean this review to discourage anyone - on the whole I think it is a good place. Maybe just ask for a quieter room because on a hot day you will need the windows open and it's really loud!

Room Tip: If it's hot outside, you'll need the windows open at night, so ask for a quiet room, NOT one overlooking the main street or the outdoor night cafe!

Just back from our fourth visit to U Maleho Vitka in seven years. The Crumblies (UK) Walking Group first went there in 2005 and the joys of simple, clean rooms with the friendliest of service has meant that we can not stay away! This year there were only 15 of us; in 2011 it was 32! No matter, no problems for Jana and the team at UMV! Couteous and helpful, as ever.If you love walking and hiking like we do, try out the Sumava National Park with excellent road and rail links from Cesky Krumlov. Rich and unspoilt countryside with miles of good quality, well-marked walks to suit all tastes and styles... and if you go to Sumava, CK is a must! UNESCO WH site and there is no more comfortable or better value than the UMV! But why am I telling you all this, when really we want to keep it all to ourselves? The reason is simple; as walkers, we have had the benefits of staying in this wonderful place almost all to ourselves for the past few years and it is important that the region gets recognisition for the quality of what it has to offer for the more active tourist. Cycling; horse riding; rafting; rock climbing and the sophisitication of top quality thetare, opera and art in CK itself. Combine that with the remarkable charms of htis beautifullly restored medieval building that forms the UMV and you just about have the lot! One word of advice- give July and August a miss if you do not want to encounter the young drunks that emerge from the local bars in the earlier parts of the day; the noise that they make in narrow, cobbled streets has to be heard to be believed- but that is not the fault of the hotel!

Room Tip: Avoid Room 17 at the busier times of the year because in the early hours of the morning the rooms on the south side of the hotel face over the noisiest street, leading up from the Travellers Hostel.
